Hiking Trips - different categories

I've decided that there are, to me, 3 kinds of hiking trips. To categorize them like this allows me to set my own expectations, and to avoid beating myself up when I don't accomplish something.

  • Challenge hikes.... trying something for the first time, a new route /approach, a time goal, new mountain, etc.
  • JIJ "Joy in the Journey"... go where I will, smell the roses, take pictures, investigate a different path. Summitting is NOT the goal here, being outdoors, enjoying the beauty of God's creation, getting exercise - these are the goals on these kinds of hike
  • Picture taking very much like number 2, the goal however, is to take pictures.
